I used to actually sell 12" Dragon and 21st Century, (and some 12" Joes) on-line and through eBay. This was early on in eBay, when you could use them to drive traffic to your own site, so long as they got their cut on listings. Then their pricing structure changed and they became quite teutonic in their letting you link to your own site...they wanted all commerce to come through them...but that is another topic...

Even back then, I would have some figures sell right at cost, or below cost, and then the next week have one sell for triple what it did the week before. It wasn't me price gouging, just the auction frenzy. I always listed the same starting price. Weird.

So I don't know how the market will affect 25th vs regular. But I do know a lot of folks are cutting their "discretionary expenditures" significantly.

As for me, I'm going to stick with what I have for now. I need to put a new roof on my house more than I need more figures...
